It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Bower Hinton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being aware of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bower Hinton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will deal with any of the normal problems that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
